We had a lovely conversation with Chanel Savage, Shizzy Springs and Kane Ashton about their roles in the Nebraksa Premiere of the play "Charm" by Phillip Dawkins.

"Charm" is a heartfelt and thought-provoking play that explores identity, acceptance, and the power of chosen family. Based on the inspiring true story of Chicago’s Miss Gloria Allen, this powerful work centers on Mama Darleena Andrews (played by Chanel Savage), a poised and passionate Black transgender woman who sets out to teach an etiquette class at a local LGBTQ+ youth center.

"Charm" is Directed by Randall Stevens and Co-Directed by Anthony Holmes and Asia Nared.

"Charm" opens August 14th and runs through the 24th.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan Kathman (Director) and Carter Fangmeyer (Assistant Director) about what makes "Punk Rock Romeo & Juliet" a production you must go see!

This is an ecclectic and bold reinterpretation of Romeo & Juliet. Set to the memorable energies of 1970s and ’80s punk rock, you can expect to see a fun reimagination of this classic play.

The historic Wyuka Stables, with its courtyard-style indoor/outdoor layout, will transport you into a charming Elizabethan-like amphitheater.
